I feel one of the major problems is the lack of communication in the team. Even though some of the members are in tough situations, such as a divorce or working a second job for necessary money, there is no excuse for them not telling the truth. I’m sure that sharing these problems with the rest of the group would only help with getting to the end goal and completing the public interface by the deadline. What I would do if I was actually in this situation, is start off with one on one discussions with each person and after, have a team meeting. As I said I feel like the key to success in these situations is good communication. Having a team meeting is a great way to do this. A plan I thought of was maybe the man going through the divorce could maybe cover for the guy working the second job. And to pay him back then the guy working the second job can cover for the guy going through a divorce. If even after these meetings people refuse to do their work, I think the last option would be to talk to the boss. I know that might not seem like the most professional thing to do but at times it is necessary.

Graphic Design Projects: For these projects we used Inkscape and Gimp to make various creations. One thing we made was a favicon, a logo for our website. I used Gimp and Inkscape to make it. We had to make 6 logos and 1 picture collage for the first part, and after we had to make collages where we put one image in another, like the Cosmic Turtle collage below. And we used Gimp to mess with a picture of Aaron, Ernie, or both of them. I had to make web banners out of 6 of the logos.
